Introduction to Psychology Advice

Showing 1 to 3 of 13

This was an honor's psychology course which looks super good on a transcript and it was my favorite course I've ever taken! It is fascinating to learn how the human mind works and to begin an understanding of why people are who they are.

Course highlights:

A main highlight of this course was the professor. Professor Meehan allowed us to write note cards at the end of each class with any questions or comments and she would give them back the next class with a response. It's been over a year and I still have these cards because we had such great intellectual conversation! I learned so much about the brain and how its chemicals and responses work. I learned about mental illness, how drugs effect the brain and how differently every person's mind works.

Hours per week:

3-5 hours

Advice for students:

If you are considering this course, be ready to read and reread. Full comprehension of your text is very important to success in this class and makes the in class discussions more interesting! Commit to truly learning and understanding the material, rather than just simply memorizing it for a test.

Psychology teaches you so many interesting facts that you've always been curious about but really never had the chance to ask about. I learned so much being in that class.

Learning how we act and why we act that way. We learned about the psychological disorders people can have and why they act as they do. There's so much to learn about the brain and they way we interact with people.

Hours per week:

9-11 hours

Advice for students:

Be ready to study and read the books. Its a lot of information but you will be thankful you took this class in the end. You'll notice responses in people throughout the day and put your learning into real life situations.
